The filling center is where product and container streams meet. Its correct selection depends on beverage condition, container, closure, output basis and the equipment immediately before and after it.
Use the beverage condition and package first: still products may use atmospheric or other product-suitable filling, carbonated products require a pressure-controlled route, hot-filled products require compatible containers and post-fill handling, and cans require filling plus seaming.
Product condition and package compatibility eliminate unsuitable machine types before model selection begins.
| Selection gate | Confirm | Supplier evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Product behavior | Still/carbonated, viscosity, particles and foam | Declared application window and trial basis |
| Filling condition | Ambient, hot, cold, pressure or aseptic requirement | Approved process handoff at filler inlet |
| Container and closure | PET, glass or can drawings and samples | Format range, change parts and closure method |
| Output claim | One reference SKU and good-output boundary | Rated and acceptance conditions separated |
Use one controlled product and package basis. The table identifies the evidence needed to screen a route; it does not prescribe a final machine.
| Project condition | Route to evaluate | Evidence gate | Downstream consequence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Still, low-viscosity beverage | Product-suitable still filling | Approved filling condition, hygiene basis and volume-control method | Immediate closure, inspection and stable transfer |
| Carbonated beverage | Pressure-controlled preparation and isobaric filling | Carbonation target, inlet temperature, container resistance and closure | Leak/closure check, condensation handling and controlled restart |
| Approved hot-fill product | Thermal process, hot filling and controlled cooling | Qualified process basis and heat-compatible container/closure | Closure treatment where required, cooling and bottle-shape control |
| Aluminum can | Can filling plus end feeding and seaming | Can/end drawings, product condition and seam measurement plan | Seam inspection, reject control and can-safe packing |
| Large or returnable container | Container-specific wash/rinse, filling and closure route | Incoming-container condition and cleaning acceptance | Finished-container inspection and handling method |
Decision boundary: If formula, preservation method or package suitability is unresolved, keep the filling route marked for technical confirmation.
Confirm carbonation, viscosity or particulates, filling temperature, preservation route and hygiene requirement before choosing a filling principle.
PET, glass and cans require different transfer, closure and inspection logic. A similar capacity does not make the equipment interchangeable.
The rated filler output is not the same as stable saleable line output. Agree the reference SKU, test material, duration, rejects, stops and measurement boundary.
Every equipment decision has an upstream condition, a current function and a downstream handoff.
Prepared product and stable empty containers must arrive within the confirmed operating window.
Rinse, fill and close or fill and seam using the project-specific method.
Transfer, inspect, treat when required, label and pack without destabilizing the container.
The supplied Allot Tech 2026 catalog supports named equipment groups such as water treatment, beverage preparation, CIP, bottle handling, filling platforms, labeling, conveying and secondary packaging. It does not make every module mandatory for every project.
Company identity, contact route, named equipment categories and catalog reference flows.
Application routes and model-family context from the supplied catalog.
Output, power, dimensions, materials, components, process conditions, availability, price and service scope.
Invented performance, price, certifications, projects, reviews, factory claims or guarantees.
These answers frame the equipment decision. The final process and equipment remain project-specific.
No. It combines core container rinsing, filling and closing functions but still depends on upstream, downstream and utility systems.
No. Catalog values are reference data; the quotation and signed technical agreement confirm the final model and specification.
